Bücher der Reihe Cognition and Language: A Series in Psycholinguistics

It is not that my work produced no new findings on human conduct, or that working almost exclusively with college students gave me little information on other groups of people, but that the study of human beings in the laboratory told me little about the people themselves.

This book is an introduction to Vygotsky and his theories of language and second language acquisition.

Not too many years ago, natural science and especially psychology were within the confines of philosophy and its subsectors: the pre Socratic philosophers were essentially cosmologists, and only later, with Socrates and Plato's work, did an interest in epistemology assume a central position within philosophy.

He develops, for himself, his own cogni tive structures and since this process of development is not only external, but goes on internally as well, it seems reasonable to assume that logic viewed from this end is not biased as much by the cultural context in which it is examined.

By exploring the context of psychiatry's unofficial voices: its terminology, jokes, parodies, and everyday narratives, the clinical landscape is shown to rely heavily on unofficial dialogues in order to safeguard an official identity.

Brown extends the microgenetic theory of the mind by offering a new approach to the problem of time and free will. He examines the problem of subjective time and free will, the experiential present, the nature of intentionality, and the creative properties of physical growth and mental process.

This book signals a paradigm shift in oral communication. Unlike mainstream psycholinguists, the authors approach spoken discourse as a dynamic process rich with with structures, patterns, and rules other than conventional grammar and syntax.

This book fills a critical gap in the cross-cultural literature by illuminating the bilingual experience in both its social and clinical contexts. Rafael Javier makes a convincing, empirically founded case for what he terms the bilingual mind, with its own particular approach to cognition, memory, and emotional and social development.

Whereas most humans spend their time trying to get things right, psycholo gists are perversely dedicated to error. The very concept of error presupposes a goal or criterion by comparison to which an error is an error;

We are pleased to be able to honor Arthur J. On the other hand, those who know little about Arthur may have thought of him primarily in narrow association with phonetics and lin guistics, most likely as the author of The Pronunciation of American English, surely the most influential of American phonetics texts during the last quarter of a century.

'Empractical' speech occurs when humans converse occasionally during non-verbal activities such as fishing. This volume combines historical, theoretical, and empirical approaches to delineate the differences between empractical and conversational speech.

For students this may be merely a grade or perhaps a series of evaluative remarks, possibly addressed both to the speaker and the other participants, the audience. This speaker - in the major portions of this work we may say, "this young man" - has spent time seeking an appropriate topic.

Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist and one of the most influential psychologists in the world during the 20th century. This volume, the first of six, examines Vygotsky's works involving problems of general psychology, including thinking and speech.

In this volume, readers are introduced to Vygotsky's argument for a theoretical and methodological approach to differentiate "higher" mental functions from the more basic brain processes that other theorists believed were at the center of the psychological apparatus.

The Plenum translations ofVygotsky' s texts are appearing at a moment when authentic and authoritative English versions of them are rare-a moment when the frequency of works about Vygotsky threatens to outstrip the availability of work by Vygotsky.

It is our hope that by offering several different points of view on psycholinguistic re search, this volume will provide readers with a better sense of the similarities and differences of opinion within these different points of view.

In this text, the authors review the last twenty-five years of progress in research and theory on language and communication in the psychopathological context. They also identify promising avenues for future research. This text will benefit students taking courses in psycholinguistics.

Based on a comparative analysis of Chinese and American students,this unique study offers insights into the contemporary views and values developed in three different socio-political settings-the post-modern, industrial environment of the United States;

The authors focus on aphasia-language disorder resulting from local brain damage and show that the clinical aspect represents not only loss of function of the damaged area, but also results from the interaction between damaged and intact areas of the brain.
